Meaning and background
The story behind Noor
Noor has a light-name tradition and an independent Dutch short-name use. Behind the Name records it as a transcription or variant of Nur across several languages; the linked Nur entry gives the Arabic meaning light. A separate Noor entry identifies a Dutch shortening of Eleonora. The light meaning should consequently stay attached to the Nur route rather than being treated as the origin of every Noor.
